Hi /k/, I was wondering what should I get for my first gun ever?

.22LR bolt action or semi auto rifle.

Also, why the fuck are you going to school in that horrible place. You are an adult now, you can live wherever you want. If you had two brain cells to rub together you would be out of there as soon as you had the chance.

Ruger 10/22 takedown model

very easy to shoot, clean and hide (for reasons that should be very obvious)

It's also a lot of fun to shoot with 25 rounders

>tfw 25rd mags were recently banned here in Canada

I would have but I did not get into any of my out of state choices. To me, academics was a priority due to my interest in business, and specifically in my field of interest investment banking, recruiters are discriminatory on which college you go to so the better academic ranking the better. Also, I am basically going for free as I got a nice scholarship so I really could not turn down the financial deal to pay more for a lesser ranked school. It really is unfortunate, but the only schools that really beat my current school in my major are the Ivy Leagues, which I did not get into.

Also I see the best answer here is .22LR. Thanks so much. However I have also gotten some suggestions from my gun owning friends (albeit with out experience in owning multiple firearms) that a milsurp bolt action is a great first choice as they are cheap along with the ammo, and while they are unreliable they are fun and if something happens they are easy to replace. Any thoughts?

AR-15. it's the most fun you will have with any gun platform, period. you can buy it with a drivers license. and, you can justify it to your parents because 'murrica.

stop this. i'm pretty sure OP is not 12.

Most milsurp rifles are not unreliable at all, even the ones in terrible shape. It's another good choice, but not ideal for learning to shoot.

Also, the advantage with the takedown model I mentioned is that you could fit it in a backpack, no need to store it at your parent's house as long as you're discreet

>.22 is for children

Fuck off with your memes, tripfag.

>>33960459
i'm convinced there is a bot on here shilling 10/22's and mosins at this point.

Oh man... I remember when I was young and used to think this shit was important.

Have at it OP. Hopefully you see the rat race for what it is before you are too old and too jaded to have fun.

>stop this. i'm pretty sure OP is not 12.
I started out with 7.62x43, then went to 5.56 then went to .22LR... geee I wonder why.

>>33960499
Good to know, thanks. It would be easier not to deal with them at all, I just worry that I would get caught one day and get in serious trouble. Thats why my parents are involved in this at all. However I will consider it. Thanks!

>>33960530
haha no just a inexperienced first-timer. I appreciate the advice on the AR-15. I really like how modular it is and they are pretty easy to obtain. I have shot 5.56 and 7.62 before so you are correct I can handle more, its just about what is reasonable to own. I will take the AR into consideration though. Thanks!

>>33960534
>7.62x43

are you unironically 60+ years old?

>>33960605
I'm 21 I assure you, I meant to type 7.62x54

>>33960534
Thanks for the advice. However, I feel like I am in a position to actually achieve the dream and not feel as if it were a rat race. Granted, that may be youthful optimism and naivete, but the starting salary out of my school for my major is 80/85K up to 100k if you go to the right firm, so I feel at that starting point whats to lose. But I respect your experience and will definitely keep it in mind.

>>33960619
oh right, meanwhile I thought you were referring to 7.62x45

>>33960534
then went to .22LR... geee I wonder why.

because you lost your job??

>>33960633
Because I was going to the range so often and burning through so much ammo that $0.10 a round actually made a significant difference

For all of California's flaws, if you are planning on getting the best possible higher education, California is your best choice.

>>33960681

I am in a similar situation OP. I just store my guns at my pro-gun girlfriend's parents' house. Problem solved. Just become hasgf
